Login with Display Name to no longer be accepted

Hi guys

This may be a slight inconvenience to some but 420SA will soon no longer be accepting the use of your Display Name (Username) to login to your account. You'll need to use the email address associated with your account.

This is purely a security measure as your display names are displayed publicly on this forum, which is a security risk and does allow a hacker to hammer away with your account until they may possibly come right a password. Of course, with a community such as this, the risk is very low for something like that happening but better safe than sorry. This is about the safety of your account first and foremost.

This change will take effect on 10 January 2022

If anyone is unsure what email address is associated with their account. Just drop me a message.

Cheers
